Chapter Text
It's been two years since the birth of the new addition to the Kambe-Katou and both parents couldn't be more grateful and happier for the presence of their daughter. It wasn't an easy task raising Amaya, the journey of parenthood came with ups and down. Daisuke and Haru have had their fair of arguments along the way, some have gotten nasty to the point where they don't talk to each for a long time period or one of them leaves the house and don't come back after days, but in the end they always find a way to work around the problem and come together for their own happiness and their small family.
But other than the downs there've been many ups. Amaya's first word, “daddy”. Haru was a little disappointed because Daisuke wasn't the one who carried her for 9 months and had to experience the most terrifying experience called labor, but Haru wasn’t surprised she is very much a daddy's girl. Of course his husband was there to reassure him but Daisuke did feel a swell of pride knowing “daddy” was his daughter's first word.
Another milestone was when she first started crawling and taking her first steps. Daddy may have been her first word but when Haru and Daisuke were both across from each other in Amaya’s room encouraging her to take her first steps/crawl towards them she chose to make her way towards her mother. Haru’s golden eyes shined brightly and when his daughter reached him, he picked her up and covered her tiny faces in small kisses. Daisuke looked towards his phone which was recording, they wanted to record her first steps since her first word took them by surprise and made a face but shortly joined his husband in praising their little girl for such a big milestone.
Overall the past two years they wouldn't change anything no matter how nasty their argument got. No relationship is perfect, no couple is perfect, no marriage is perfect, especially when you add a child to the mix. But both Haru and Daisuke couldn't ask for a better life together.
For her first birthday Daisuke threw her a big party, celebrating her first year of life. It really wasn’t big since they don't have that many friends and family but the media caught a whiff and went crazy about it, they made it into a big deal which upset both parents but mostly Haru. No parents want to see their children's face on media outlets, articles, or videos. Both parents, friends and families tried their absolute best to keep her face hidden from the public eye, only posting what they felt comfortable but paparazzi have zero respect for privacy, they found the location of the venue and began trespassing. Due to the venue being an outside garden they were able to get as many pictures of their daughter until security stopped them and renforcement came.
Haru was upset, their daughter in his arms crying over the loud noises, the flashes of the cameras, and the overwhelming stress of what just occurred. Daisuke was enraged, kicked a few tables until Suzue stepped in and calmed down her cousin. They continued the party in the privacy of their home, Haru went up to put Amaya to sleep. Daisuke saw no point in continuing the party and sent everyone home for the night, thanking them for coming and helping him remain calm. Daisuke went up to Amaya’s room and saw her sleeping peacefully in her crib while his husband was breaking down on the rocking chair. He comforted his husband and they both agreed they hated the media.
Present day, this time around for Amaya’s second birthday they learned from the last time and hosted a small get-together in their backyard, it was 10x smaller than her first birthday but it was worth it, no interruptions.
Amaya was running around and playing with her cousin Mirai who was now 4 years old, time definitely flew by. Haru excused himself from the conversation and walked over to his daughter and niece, “Hey there sweetie, are you ready to cut your cake?.”
Amaya nodded repeatedly and reached for her mother to pick her up, Haru smiled and happily picked up his daughter, “Wow! You're getting heavy.” Amaya giggled and snuggled against Haru’s neck “Lets cut your cake then I’ll put you down for the day, sound good?”
Daisuke saw his husband and daughter approaching, Haru pointed towards the cake and Dasiuke understood, he called everyone's attention “Sorry to interrupt but it seems my princess is tired, we will be cutting the cake and calling it a night.” Everyone gathered around the table and began singing happy birthday to the toddler, Haru was carrying her on his hip and began swaying his hips to get a reaction out of her. She began squealing and laughing, “Daddy!” she began reaching and calling for her daddy to carry her, Daisuke happily complied, carrying his princess.
When the song was over Daisuke leaned her down towards the cake, Haru followed “Blow the candle princess”, she looked at him with her big golden eyes, the exact same as her mother, he nodded encouraging her to blow the number 2 candle. Once she did, with the help of her parents, everyone cheered, Haru smeared some frosting on her and Daisuke’s face “Happy second birthday my baby.”
Shortly after Haru went inside to put her down to bed everyone began making their way home. Suzue, Hoshino, and the rest of modern crimes stayed behind to help Daisuke clean up and bring the present inside the living room, so once Haru was done putting her to bed the parents could relax instead of worrying about cleaning up. Once everything was cleaned up and put away they bid farewell.
Daisuke took a peek inside Amaya’s room and saw her sleeping soundly in her crib, Haru turned around and smiled at him “Meet me in the room, I have something to show you.” Daisuke raised his eyebrows in suspension, his husband rolled his eyes “I’m too exhausted for sex and I’m sure you are as well so get your head out of the gutter.” Daisuke entered their bedroom with more questions than answers, if they weren't having sex then what did Haru want to show him? He began his process of getting ready for bed, he could hear Haru doing the same in Amaya’s room. Haru always liked to stay a little longer in her room to make sure she’s actually asleep and once he left he liked to collapse on the bed.
Daisuke began lifting the covers when Haru walked in carrying a box, “Sorry for the wait, she kept stirring and I was scared she was going to wake up. Anyways I got this gift for Amaya but I’m not sure.” Haru handed the box over to Daisuke, “What do you want me to do?”
Haru rolled his eyes “Open it and tell me what you think”
Daisuke nodded and opened the small box, without fullying removing the lid Daisuke already knew what was inside. He looked at his husband with eyes wide, “Are these Amaya’s?”
Haru smiled and shook his head.
Daisuke didn't know if it was possible to widen his eyes more, “Haru you’re-”
“I’m pregnant”
